A dozen businesses joined the briefing, chaired by Wendy Freeman, HM Consul General at the British Consulate Alexandria, Mr Mustafa El Deeb, Advisor on Maritime transport and logistics to the Egyptian Minister of Transport, Admiral Medhat Attia, Chairman of the Port Authority for Alexandria

Guests were presented with a market economic overview of Egypt by Iman Elsherif, Secretary-General of the Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce before subsequent briefings were delivered by Admiral Mustafa El Deeb, Advisor to Egypt’s Minister of transport for Ports, and Rear Admiral Medhat Attia.

Attendees were presented with advice and guidance about local customs arrangements and were informed about the substantial opportunities for companies in oil, gas and petrochemical industries, agriculture, tourism, healthcare, civil engineering and maritime development.

After the briefing, the delegation continued to the Town Hall to meet with the Lord Mayor and city representatives and officials to discuss a potential friendship arrangement between Alexandria and Liverpool and the potential participation of an Egyptian delegation at the International Business Festival in the summer of 2018. A subsequent tour of Peel Ports concluded the delegation visit on 23 January.
